Jureidini, Jon, M.B., Ph.D.

I am a child psychiatrist at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide where I work with ill and disabled children and their families.

I trained in philosophy (PhD, Flinders University), critical appraisal (University of British Columbia) and psychotherapy (Tavistock Clinic). I am a professor in the Disciplines of Psychiatry and Paediatrics at the University of Adelaide. I head Adelaide University’s Paediatric Mental Health Training Unit, providing training and support to GPs, allied health professionals, teachers and counsellors in non-pathologizing approaches to primary care mental health.

I learnt most of what I know about psychiatry growing up in a pub, from being a father, from reading novels, and from Michael Leunig’s cartoons.

I am a spokesman for Healthy Skepticism, which aims to counter misleading drug promotion, chair of Australian-Palestinian Partnerships for Education and Health, and am on the board of Siblings Australia, an organisation that advocates for individuals with ill and disabled siblings.
